Nice work so far. I'm watching this one with great interest. I always wondered if this would ever make the transition from screen to paper model -- it's so obviously something we need to have. :D

I agree with the sentiment (french not included :D) I even talked to a guy who owns a hobby shop down the street from me, he said that if I could find out if ABC had a US distributor that he would see about stocking the magazine, so I agree that I would be cool if there was something here in the US!

No insult to the magazine or the language it is written in, but I would prefer an English version of the magazine or one similar.

I agree on that one as well Stev0.

I have reworked the 3d model, so it is more in line with the drawings. Unless the old and new models are side by side you can't really tell the difference. I have also started working on the textures at the nose

I have made a test build of the fuselage and it seems to go together ok. The main problems are the upper rear section which is still twisting. I can probably do better when it has some textures on it to help with alignment.

I also need to rearrange the layout of the engine 'pylons' as there is a seam right at the front which doesn't really need to be there.
